So summer is almost over. How has your summer been, weather-wise?

[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 667050, member: 18958"] I agree. We are gradually moving to a dry garden and are about a third there. I am so in love with our Cacti and succulents. We have about 30 varieties massed on a table where I can see them from inside the house as I walk through the hall. And then another 40 or so in the front yard. They are so easily started by planting the babies that sprout. Home Depot sells many for $2 or $3. Some we got are up to 2'. I had a friend that grew cacti in a West Facing window in an apartment in the SF Bay Area. I think anybody could do this. Well, maybe not in Scandinavia. But who knows? The only issue we have with the lawn is the dogs who prefer to be outside. The grass keeps the backyard where they are so much cooler and more comfortable for them. We do not have a tree cover to shade it. I have bought 4 or 5 sun shades and will have them up for next year. Then, we are worried that the cacti would injure them. But there are other dry garden options that will not. We are working on it. Slowly. I am envious with the kitties in the bed. A few years ago M insisted all animals needed to leave the bedroom. I am bereft. [/QUOTE]
